The
Biathlon Bears program is a three-tier skill development
program, designed for children between the ages of 8 and 14.
The program introduces skills and techniques of Biathlon while
promoting fun and participation through hands-on
learning, interactive games, and club competition events. It is similar to the Jackrabbits
and Track Attack programs developed by Cross Country Canada. Designed for
weekly sessions, it accommodates both the beginner and the most
experienced young athletes by allowing them to progress through the
program from the level that they are currently at.
It is required that
each participant be concurrently enrolled in either the Jack
Rabbits, Track Attack or Junior Racers Nordic programs offered
by any of the local Nordic clubs and be in
possession of properly fitting skies, boots, and poles.
